Western Digital launch 500GB harddrive

WD Caviar SE16 500GB is the new giant of a harddrive that manufacturer Western Digital recently launched and it is no real surprise since the competition has already launched its 500GB models quite some time ago. The new WD Caviar SE16 500GB model is working at 7200 RPM and comes with 16MB cache. The specifications reveal support for 300MB/s transfer rates and Native Command Queuing (NCQ). In general WD has just increased the storage capacity but also brags about a new technology called WhisperDrive, which, just as the name implies, will result in less noise. The price of WD’s new flagship will be about $349.99 and if any of you decide to get one of these don’t hesitate to share your epxeriences.
